A homeless man named Johnny Bobbitt Jr. was able to buy a home with some of the nearly $400,000 raised for him by a woman he saved on a highway.

Johnny Bobbitt Jr. used his last $20 to fill up the gas tank of a stranded New Jersey motorist in Philadelphia, and the woman, Kate McClure, created a GoFundMe page to thank him and help him get back on his feet.

The fundraiser raised over $397,000, and Johnny Bobbitt Jr. has used some of the money to buy a home, as well as a dream truck, a 1999 Ford Ranger.

He's also donating some of the money to a Philadelphia grade school student, Cole McCafferty, who started a GoFundMe page to help a disabled homeless veteran named Jeff Johnson.

Johnny Bobbitt Jr. served in the U.S. Marine Corps and worked as a paramedic in Vance County, North Carolina, before he became homeless.

The kindness and generosity of Johnny Bobbitt Jr. and the woman who created the GoFundMe page for him have inspired others to pay it forward, including Cole McCafferty's efforts to help another homeless veteran.

GoFundMe is giving Johnny Bobbitt, a homeless veteran, $20,000 while a court works out what happened to the $400,000 raised for him on the fundraising site.

The money came from a GoFundMe campaign set up by Kate McClure and her boyfriend Mark D'Amico, who aimed to give Bobbitt a "second-chance at life" after he gave McClure his last $20 when she ran out of gas.

Bobbitt's lawyer Chris Fallon said the money was gone, and a judge ordered McClure and D'Amico to turn over all remaining funds to an escrow account.

The couple initially claimed they were holding on to the money for Bobbitt's own good, waiting for him to get off of drugs and find a job.

Bobbitt claimed that the couple has spent the money on vacations and a new BMW, but D'Amico and McClure said they paid for the new car and vacations themselves, not through the funds raised.
